"sista"?

sista you were the person i admired the most

you always came out on top others weren't even close

you took on the pressure of any situation

the role you took was without hesitation

i felt that i would always need you for guidance

i looked at you as my secret alliance

there were times i felt you were unfair about lots of things

but you taught me thats all life means

you started growing older and wiser

i started seeing a house full of liars

it was six kids in a house no father no mother

it was like all we had was each other

man please that was a big front da whole time

you left da house with just a drop of a dime

fights breakin out between you mama and daddy

everytime ya'll fought it was over somethin petty 

our daddy wasn't nothin

mama felt she had to become somethin

wen you moved out it was the best thing for you

but what about us we was struggling too

wen daddy finally came back into the picture we had to go

then here you come cuz you wanna use us sum moe

wen daddy came back mama left

ya'll robbed me personally of happiness it was known theft

well that was the past lets take a look at the present

mama and daddy here sorta i guess thats a blessin

im eighteen years old and now you tryin to interfere in my life

where were you when i needed advice

im the only one in our family doin the best with what i got

everybody is havin the luck when all i have is the have not

sista how could you agree with me one minute cuz our situations is similar

and when you get on all of sudden my choice in your eye's has gone dimmer

you so hypercritical i will never take your advice

it dont matter if you think it could save my life

i dont hate you i just despise you a lot

im not a toy you get out the cracker jack box

when i move away i will not open my mouth to tell you or anybody else where

i'll be ok cuz im with somebody who actually cares

man ma life just went through a twista

but thanks for savin me "sista"?

S.O.A.P

Crying all day because I worry about tomorrow

Heartaches every other day because my soul is full of sorrow

I let little things bother me thats not supposed to

I wish I could kill this insecure bug with my shoe

Fake family, fake friends equal fake life, how could i have been so nieve

We'll help you do this and we'll help you do that, I dislike liars so I just leave

I should have saw this coming like truck headlights in the street

It just looks as if the stomping coming from my feet doesn't match the life beat

Yeah thats what it looks like, but that's not what it is

Someone great told me in so many words life will shake and bubble, but the bubbles will 
go down and go away because all of it is just fizz

He is so great and never really gloats

Thats when I realized he's S.O.A.P

It may seem funny or even crazy but I want to grow up and be just like him

His words of wisdom makes me feel "Above the Rim"

He is my crutches when I'm falling fast

He gets rid of anyone and anything in my life he believes is trash

Picking myself up and dusting myself off

Thanking him and hugging myself soft

"Positive outlook means positive things in life" I'll remember that, it's the key to 
happiness

Today is the day I am Stepping Over All Pettiness (S.O.A.P)

Life & Beginning

Everybody has a one time & one time only beginnin in dey life

Weather it starts with yo first word or makin a pretty lady your wife

It starts out nice because your going in knowing its going to be hard

Your eager to work hard live hard and win by far

You do fine when you are a month or 2 in pushin the dream

But oh so quickly do we learn things are not what they seem

I care a lot about what my future holds, i aim for the gold

And not once did i forget what i was told; about life of course

But life is a course so i dnt plan on showin remorse

I would love to take this world by force

Only, it gets harder as i dig deeper and i realize the hill is gettin steeper

I feel that life is the grim reaper of dreams and courage

I want my courage, i need my courage, so life will not destroy my courage

I fell so hard that life knocked the dream out my heart and replaced it with reality

I curled up like a child experiencing the worst ever tragedy

Fallin every step i take, feelin gettin up would be a waste and that life should jus devour me

But no i wont let it simply cuz ma heart is not prosthetic 

I have the soul of a spartan and the strength of a god

Im only human so i am indeed against all odds 

No one will control me or replace the faith i have 

No matter how hard i fall i will definitely get the last laugh

Life is only how you want it and how you make it

To me life is the dream and your dreams are reality

So my beginnin is da day i realized my dream was never replaced with reality

It just grew bigger inside of me

Boyfriend

the first day i laid eyes on you it was so not what i expected

the image you created and the way your eyes rested

i stared at you not realizing my curiosity was adjusted

the moment i try to look away im quickly busted

i blush i giggle and im scared out of my skin pure fear

my thoughts are sayin i hope he dnt think im weird

months and weeks of bein hurt i say to myself i found my cure

its still questionable to this day how was i so sure

i thought i would neva see you again and i felt so bad

until a bright light shined down on me with a number someone gave me to have

i didnt wanna seem too thirsty or too forward to dial your number the first night

but i couldn't help myself i dialed it twice 

ring ring no answer im in very deep doubt

i call our mutual friend to ask what that was about

your number is unknown i'll make sure he answer's this time he say

calling again praying  this will go my way

someone picks up the phone and i hear

Hello

wow, the voice of an angel so sweet so deep so strong so honest

i could never forget the feelin i promise

i soon start to see him in school

we walked past each other he smiled and all i had was brain drool

but wait we doubled back with open arms 

and i felt no this is wrong alarms

when i hugged him i felt safe i felt good i felt loved

i was so sure that he was truly sent from above

a few days went past and i sort of forced him to be with me

not how everybody thinks but it felt like our destiny

he could have easily walked away 

but somethin made him stay

the fact that he wanted to be my boyfriend was like da best thing dat ever happened to me

he out of all boys took interest in courtney

to this day i feel the same way i felt 3 years ago

through it all i'll give him anything he ask for plus more

now he is just so much more than a boyfriend

he is my one and only husband and i love him

Letter To You (Not a Poem)

So much life in me but for the love of god i cant find it. The harder i push the faster i 
get knocked down. The fall is so hard it leaves bruises that cant be removed with ice 
and a kiss. Im in this slum and i feel i cant pull myself out, i feel nobody can. Im 
ready to go off the deep end. Im not complaining because its hard, Im complaining 
because of the mental scares. I was never this way, i always find ways to better 
myself and the situation Im in. Not this time though, my hopes and goals is nothing 
but far away dreams. I expected one person to understand but I have the 
understanding that Im just too complicated to understand. Im not giving up on 
myself Im just realizing what I can and cant do in my life. I used to believe that 
saying " You can do what ever you want to do, you just have to put your mind to it". 
What a crock. You cant do what the world wont let you do. Im crashing but not yet 
burning. Yeah we are a team but baby you carrying dead weight. Im sorry it had to 
come out this way but i cant talk because my words never come out the way i mean 
for them to come out. So here it is. You are what you are. You are the best boyfriend 
in the world. I cant ask for anyone better because there is no one better. You have 
so much going for you and you are happy. Im so happy your life is changing and 
everything that happens to you is always better for you. Why? I have no idea. But 
you say dont worry about it so much but I've tried that. Yeah I am stressing out a lot 
but thats because all of these new strategies and none of them are working. Yes I 
am very hard to motivate but thats only because Im tired of gettin slapped in the 
face. You know what its like to fall but you are able to get up and stay up. I fall and 
get slapped back down before I can even dust myself off. You are next to perfect and 
so is your life. My life wasn't that good at first but I was comfortable because I knew 
it was always lighter down what ever dark road someone dropped me off on. It 
sounds like a lot of excuses but its not. I would say take a walk in my size four's but 
i wouldn't even want you to take a road that dark, lonely, stress filled, and hurtful. 
My mind and spirits are crushed. I try to tell you look up and you look down. I say 
look right and you look left. I say go and you stop. Thats because my words are not 
the clearest things to understand so here it is on paper. Im not done trying but I am 
done falling and expecting change. I'll tell u more in the next letter.
